why are Muslims so much better than Christians when it comes to architecture

Hagia Sophia cathedral wasn't built by Muslims...

I´m not sure of this
pic related is a catholic palace in Granada, Spain

Catholics merely took over it, though; they didn't design, nor build, it.

...

u prob think ur real fuckin funny don't ya m8

French pyramid

Good thread

ah ok I didn´t knew that thxkbye

I don't know this cathedral looks really impressive user

Excellent counter-bait my friend.

hindoo architecture is way better

the taj mahal is muslim tho. pic related is hindu

ok

they what???

Mongol wall made by Mongols.

they have different styles of architecture which you cant really compare. its not "better" some people enjoy small tits othesr big tits. its preference at best. every culture has its own style and amazing buildings

>faggots enjoy small tits othesr big tits. its

kek

Its about different aesthetic. Most Muslim artworks and architecture was designed around geometric shapes, repeating patterns and symmetry. I feel most Christian architecture was more angular, based on giving an impression of being big or tall and detail was in the masonry.

ye but Muslim architecture changes from place to place considering that Muslim is not a culture.

...

...

you know that was a church right? You fucking mongoloid

No no no justinian was a muslim silly.

It's a /pol/ bait

>building a building on a hill is impressive

ok kiddo.

nearly all of the mosques are just poor copies of hagia sofia

The aya sofya is pretty shit desu.
The sultan ahmed mosque is mucht better.

from iside i would say sofia has more impact...

Its just different taste and cultural preference

I mean obviously this is a bait thread but the calligraphy and architecture are the only vehicles for visual art in the Islamic world so of course they'll be good at them

its personel view, yes, i just think blue mosque's columbs tomuch invasive to eye, too bulky where in hagia sofia they have more slin and pleasant for eye, again its just personal

it was the only outlet of creative expression muslims have besides geometric tessellations. The later is why they are known for carpets.

Muslims don't have alot to boast in the architectural field tbqh

Not much large medieval mosques with impressive construction still stand today, Arabs don't have a "preserve our history" culture. They tear down everything old to build new stuff.

haha DOMES and PARAPETS xD

French pyramid.

None of those examples holds a candle to this Shinto temple.

Why do Indian stuff always looks so dirty

Seriously, though. You know those Gothic churches in Germany and France? They're not supposed to be grey and black like that, they're just dirty. Clean them and they'd be gleaming white. Basically the same thing with Angkor Wat.

turkish mosques are but there are many different styles of mosques around the world. pic related is the ibn tulun mosque in cairo.

orthodox churches are all copies of the hagia sophia as well btw.

not even remotely true.

I sure love me some ancient Muslim statues.

Roman architecture will always be the best though

>that harbor
Another example of Latin ingenuity.
